at CH73210+ where the failure to notify involves offshore matter and the tax at stake is income tax or capital gains tax

Then calculate the maximum disclosure reduction (d).

(d) = (b) - (c)

Step 3

Calculate the actual reduction percentage for disclosure (e) by multiplying the maximum disclosure reduction (d) by the percentage for the quality of the disclosure (a).

Actual reduction percentage for disclosure (e) = (d) x (a)

Step 4

Calculate the penalty percentage (f) by deducting the actual reduction percentage for disclosure (e) from the penalty maximum (b).

Penalty percentage to be charged (f) = (b) - (e)

Step 5

To arrive at the amount of the penalty to be charged (g) apply the penalty percentage (f) to the potential lost revenue (PLR) calculated in line with CH72620.

Penalty chargeable (g) = PLR x (f)

Penalty ranges

Penalties fall into certain ranges. The disclosure reduction will determine where they fall within that range.

The penalty ranges may be different where the failure to notify involves an offshore matter and the tax at stake is income tax or capital gains tax, see CH73210+

The penalty ranges for each three categories are set out below

Category 1 - failures to notify that do not involve an offshore matter or failures to notify that involve an offshore matter in territory 1 where the stake is not income tax or capital gains tax, see CH73214.
